Walking the River Erme, Middlecombe Beach, and Kingston Circular Trail is a spectacular journey along the South Devon Coast that will produce stunning views of the water, making it popular with a wide range of outdoor enthusiasts, from families with children to seasoned adventurers. Setting out from the roadside parking area at Wonwell Beach, you will head to the southwest to walk along the Erme Estuary, enjoying the scenic views across the water as you stroll along the rugged terrain of the coast.
